Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

And just how would you "know" this, simulator boy?

Because I know how the vestibular system works.

If a turn is coordinated, you don't feel a turn no matter how your
head is oriented.

Not true. If you hold your head normal to the horizon, you should feel the
sideways acceleration in the turn. If you hold it normal to the wings, you'll
feel it as a climb or descent.
